that governance is primarily about protecting an organisation, whereas management is more about growing it (Ashe-Edmunds, 2016). The ERHA has a number of governing policies that specifically directs how board members can act.

Introduction I have chosen an experience to study for my personal application analysis that involves a board position on which I currently serve. The action involved a search process for the organization that I was asked to lead. I failed to fully understand the context and readiness of the employees as I tried to instill a cultural change.

Not-for-profit organizations are highly dependent upon…
